Supplies Needed To Make These Felt Flower Crafts For Preschoolers
- Felt or card stock

- Magnets
- Scissors
- Felt glue or hot glue gun*
- (Optional) pen or pencil
*Adult supervision is recommended if using a hot glue gun.
How To Make These Felt Flower Magnet Crafts
Step 1
Cut flowers from felt or card stock using scissors. With younger kids that haven’t developed enough fine motor skills to use scissors to cut felt, you can help them or pre-cut the flowers ahead of time.
Step 2
Set the cut out petals on a flat surface and then glue a button to the center of the flower with hot glue or regular craft glue. Try different button variations:
- Smaller buttons can be grouped in the center of the flower instead of one center button.
- Vintage buttons make the flowers unique and using recycled buttons is a fun way to remember clothing or those who wore them.
- Check your Dollar Tree, Amazon or Hobby Lobby for a fun assortment of buttons to use in this quick craft.
Step 3
Glue a magnet to the back of the flower.
Step 4
Let everything dry before hanging the finished product on the fridge!
Felt Button Flower Craft Magnets
- If you child prefers, he/she can cut out circle shapes instead of flower shapes. They are easier and still look like pretty flowers in a field!
- These are great for holding up your child’s art projects or for displaying on the classroom file cabinets.
- A fun and colorful idea any time of year, not just for spring or summer. After all, we love flowers all year long!
- You can add stems instead of magnets to your felt flowers by making a circular wind at the end of the wire of floral wire or chenille stem wire or pipe cleaner segment and then gluing it to the back of the felt flower where the magnet would be. Then you can give a button flower bouquet as a gift…yes, these are great mother’s day crafts!
Hope you have fun!
